Select the option that is related to the third word in the same way as the second word is related to the first word.

Allow : Forbid :: Bragging : ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. Modesty.

The logic used here is:

Allow : Forbid

Forbid means to refuse to allow. Thus, forbid is the opposite of to allow.

Similarly;

Bragging : ?

Bragging means excessively proud and boastful talk about one's achievements or possessions.

The opposite of bragging means modesty which means the quality or state of being unassuming in the estimation of one's abilities.

Hence, Modesty is the correct answer.
